About Quarter teaspoon of sesame oil
A quarter teaspoon of sesame oil is a small but flavor-packed addition, often used in Asian, Middle Eastern, and African cuisines. Extracted from toasted or raw sesame seeds, this golden oil boasts a rich, nutty aroma that enhances dishes like stir-fries, marinades, and dressings. Despite its tiny quantity, it contains trace amounts of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which can support heart health when used in moderation. Sesame oil is also a source of antioxidants, including vitamin E and lignans, which may help combat oxidative stress. However, as a concentrated fat, it is calorie-dense, so portion control is key. While a quarter teaspoon adds negligible calories, it delivers a burst of flavor, making it an excellent way to elevate the taste of meals without overloading on fats.
